I'll give your thread a nudge, but that looks like a special pot having both a variable wiper contact and a fixed tap-off point.
I believe the point in question is a "loudness tap".
You should measure the resistance across the extreme ends of the resistance wire, e.g., 250 k ohm.
Then look for a suitable replacement similar to this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/152499146482?chn=ps
The tone control is bottom left on the above image.

The problem with the above suggestion is that a tone control will have a linear taper while the volume control to which I linked will have a logarithmic taper.
As you are a self proclaimed "newbie", I offer an explanation of the difference here: https://www.hoaglandcustom.com/2017/05/15/hello-world/

Probably the best line of action is to try to dismantle the tone control and give its internals a thorough clean.
Or perhaps it just needs a squirt of contact cleaner through any and all openings, followed by umpteen rotations to ungum the resistance track.
Perhaps you have already tried that?
